Watching Sun Feng's retreating figure, Ye Tian couldn't help but think Sun Feng was like a gift-giver.
Not only had he gifted a Bronze-level Knife Technique focused on attack, but he had also unknowingly brought Ye Tian a High-grade Cultivation Talent.
While chatting with Sun Feng, Ye Tian had secretly copied Sun Feng's High-grade Cultivation Talent.
Actually, Ye Tian also wanted to copy Sun Feng's Intermediate-grade Blade Talent, but when choosing between the two, he naturally preferred the High-grade Cultivation Talent.
His own High-grade Cultivation Talent was already near its peak, close to Top Cultivation Talent.
Copying the Intermediate-grade Blade Talent might not trigger an upgrade, but copying the High-grade Cultivation Talent would definitely evolve it into Top Cultivation Talent.
He understood which was more valuable.
Back inside, Ye Tian began to fuse the newly copied High-grade Cultivation Talent. This fusion was painless and easy, only causing some sweat.
Human: Ye Tian
Cultivation Talent: Top
Speed Talent: Top
Blade Talent: Intermediate-grade
Shadow Talent: Basic-grade
Healing Talent: Top
Strength Talent: High-grade
Seeing his Cultivation Talent turn Top, Ye Tian finally couldn't hold back his excitement.
This was Top Cultivation Talent! As long as he kept training, there was a 100% chance of reaching the Grandmaster realm.
In contrast, those with High-grade Cultivation Talent had only a 10–20% chance to reach Grandmaster, and even after that, it was very difficult to progress further.
Top Cultivation Talent was different; one could easily reach early, mid, and late Grandmaster stages, only facing bottlenecks when pushing to the next realm, which could sometimes be broken through.
"With Top Cultivation Talent, I don't need to worry about talent before reaching Grandmaster!"
Ye Tian tested his Top Cultivation Talent, finding it twice as effective as High-grade.
Combined with Intermediate-grade Yuan Force Body Tempering Method and High-grade Ferocious Beast Blood, the effect might be tripled. The higher the Talent, the more efficiently one could use Ferocious Beast Blood.
With Top Cultivation Talent's effect, Ye Tian was confident he could reach the Elite Martial Artist peak—100,000 pounds of body strength—within two months.
The next day, before 10 a.m., Ye Tian arrived at Huiming Square.
Huiming Square was a large shopping plaza in Seaside Base, also home to a black market entrance.
Upon arrival, Ye Tian saw many people, mostly Martial Artists.
"Ye Tian, you're finally here!"
Sun Feng approached with a smile.
"Why are there so many people?"
Ye Tian glanced around, curious.
Normally, so many people wouldn't gather here, especially Martial Artists. It must be because of Sun Feng.
"It's nothing. I just promoted our duel a bit," Sun Feng said casually.
He sought fame, which motivated his constant challenges and satisfied his vanity.
Although he bullied Seaside Base's Martial Artists, he didn't care.
To him, the talents here were merely nominal—no match for Iron Tooth Base's standards.
Defeating Seaside Base's talents was good for Iron Tooth Base's control over this base.
Sun Feng had swept through most of Seaside Base's young talents; only Ye Tian remained.
Hence, this battle had to be grand.
"Put up the stakes!"
Before the duel, Sun Feng quickly demanded, worried Ye Tian lacked a Bronze-level Knife Technique.
"This is it!"
Ye Tian took out the Shadow Kill Bronze-level Knife Technique manual.
Sun Feng also produced his Green Wind Slash Bronze-level Knife Technique manual.
They examined each other's manuals briefly. Such quick glances couldn't teach the Knife Techniques because the techniques were complex, containing many illustrations and subtleties needing constant contemplation.
Producing a Knife Technique manual was difficult, explaining their rarity.
"The manuals are real; let's start!"
Ye Tian and Sun Feng stood at the center of Huiming Square, and others parted ways.
Many Martial Artists whispered among themselves.
"Who is Ye Tian? Is he an Elite Martial Artist?"
"I heard Ye Tian is a High-grade Cultivation Talent and already an Elite Martial Artist, but he kept a low profile."
"Both Ye Tian and Sun Feng have High-grade Cultivation Talent, but Sun Feng is older and stronger. This duel's outcome is obvious, right?"
"I think Sun Feng will win easily. He has Blade Talent and mastered Green Wind Slash to the pinnacle, able to triple attack power. Imagine tripling 50,000 pounds strength to 150,000 pounds attack! Seaside Base's Elite Martial Artists can't beat him, and Great Martial Artists won't intervene. No one can defeat Sun Feng!"
"Yeah, Ye Tian's chance of winning is very slim!"
Almost everyone doubted Ye Tian, except for a few—mainly the Wind Wolf Hunting Squad.
"Captain, do you think Lord Ye Tian has a chance?" a squad member whispered.
"Maybe, but even if he wins, it'll be tough. Sun Feng has attack power comparable to a Great Martial Artist, while Ye Tian relies on speed and strong knife skills, but his advantage isn't big. It'll probably be a narrow victory," the captain estimated.
His estimation came from knowing Ye Tian, but he had no idea Ye Tian's true power already surpassed the Great Martial Artist peak.
Soon, the duel began!
Whoosh!
Sun Feng became a blur and charged at Ye Tian, raising his blade for a fierce slash.
A wind blade struck Ye Tian, powered by Yuan Force, with attack strength of 300,000 pounds. Although not fast, few Martial Artists below Great Martial Artist realm could dodge it.
But an incredible scene unfolded.
Ye Tian vanished, and the inevitable blade struck the ground, forming a crack over ten meters long, shattering the bluestone slabs into fragments.
"Oh no!"
Sun Feng sensed danger.
As he tried to dodge, a blade suddenly pressed against his neck.
"When did you get here?"
Sun Feng broke out in cold sweat, unaware of Ye Tian's movement.
Too terrifying!
Sun Feng knew that if Ye Tian wished, he could have killed him with one strike.
"He definitely has very high Speed Talent!"
Sun Feng realized.
